<p>I'm in need of a backup solution.</p>
<p>First, most of my personal data I can't stand to lose I rsync across several servers at three physical locations nightly. I also manually push it to cloud based cold storage occasionally. But I don't currently version that data beyond the few source code repositories contained within. All of my data, both critical and non, is kept on live storage that is RAID 6 or better. Recently with the growing proliferation of cyptolocker variants, DoS attacks and penetration probes on my machines, etc, I have realized the work involved in replacing the non-critical data is just as significant and the risk of malicious damage just as real.</p>
<p>I just picked up a free LTO-4 Ultium SAS drive from an enterprise upgrade and am looking to start keeping routine full, diff, and incremental off-line tape copies just in case. I have two Linux boxes (one rsync'd to the other nightly) and a Windows 7 workstation I need to natively back-up. And I am willing to pay a few hundred dollars for a commercial solution if it is pretty much turn-key and well supported when a disaster happens at 4am. Does anyone have any recommendations on FOSS or budget commercial software that would support both client OSs, a 2 node install, fairly easy to use, and not ultra-finicky about distributions? (I'm running FC21 atm).</p>
<p>Thanks in advance,</p>
